1949 Map of Pope

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Tennessee River corridor defines the western edge of this landscape, where the waters of Kentucky Lake meet the shores of Perry and Decatur counties. At the time of this survey, the river economy is reflected in a series of landings like Brownsport Landing, Kellys Landing, and Vise Landing, while a Gaging and pumping station stands near the mouth of Cedar Creek. The interior is heavily carved by named hollows such as Henson Hollow and Duncan Hollow, leading to high points like Horses Head. Evidence of early industrial history appears along Furnace Branch, where an Ore furnace stack (Abandoned) remains. Local genealogy is well-preserved through numerous family burying grounds, including the Gobelet Cem, Broadway Cem, and Horner Cem, alongside community hubs like Smith Bottom Church.
